Availability Skill Added to Digital Assistant

For properties with the OPERA Cloud Digital Assistant OPERA Control active, a Property Availability Skill is added. When the Business Block OPERA Control is active, you can search availability for a specific date range and number of rooms. The availability details returned indicate whether there is House Availability for the date and number of rooms requested. For Sales and Event Management Standard Edition or Premium Edition subscribers with the Sales Allowance OPERA Control active, the sales allowance is also considered for the Availability Details returned.

See OPERA Cloud Digital Assistant.


This images show the OPERA Digital Assistant screen.

STEPS TO ENABLE

  1. From the side menu, select Role Manager and then select either Manage Chain Roles or Manage Property Roles according to your needs.

  2. Enter search criteria and click Search.

  3. Select the role to update, click the vertical ellipsis Actions menu, and select Edit.

For properties with the Master Sub OPERA Control active, the management of nonsynchronous blocks is added.

When changing the Block Status or Catering Status of a master block while the Synchronize check box is unchecked, you are prompted to select the sub blocks to apply the status change to.

When updating the Block or Room Status, an availability check is performed for the selected sub blocks. If the status change results in inventory being oversold at the room type, room class, or house level and you have the applicable overbooking tasks granted to your role, you are prompted to over book the inventory.  You can select to over book, and the status change is applied to the master and selected sub blocks. If you select Cancel, the status of the master and selected sub blocks remain unchanged.

For properties with the Sales Allowance OPERA Control active, you are prompted to over book the allowance if the inventory requested exceeds the available rooms in the allowance and you have the Overbook Sales Allowance task granted to your role.

When updating the Catering Status, an availability check is performed, and the associated events are updated. If there is a conflict with one or more events and the Waitlist OPERA Control is inactive, the status change is not applied to the master and selected sub blocks. If the Waitlist OPERA Control is active, the master and selected sub blocks are updated, and the event where there is a conflict is waitlisted.
